“I hear the wind across the plain
A sound so strong, that calls my name
It’s wild like the river, it’s warm like the sun
Yeah it’s here, this is where I belong
Under the starry skies
Where eagles have flown
This place is paradise…”
This Is Where I Belong – Bryan Adams

Have you ever met someone and felt an immediate connection? Like you’ve known them forever or met them before in another lifetime? It happens all the time and when you get to know them better, you realize you have so much in common. This is because they are on the same frequency or vibration as you. They get you, understand you and are in harmony with you. That is why you feel those good vibes and you enjoy spending time with them.

We humans are always looking to seek out harmony in the world and, to find people that understand us and get us. If you want to attract the right people into your life, you must be your true self. If you pretend to be someone you’re not, you’ll end up attracting the wrong people.

So how do you go about finding your people and why is it important? I have friends that some may find weird, but I get them, and they get me. You can also have more than one tribe. Why put the burden of so many sentiments on one person or one group of friends?

You may have a group of friends that love to dance so you spend Friday or Saturday evenings with them, listening to a band or dancing to the music the DJ’s playing.

Then you may have another group of friends that don’t really care for dancing but they like getting together to talk about the power of the mind. They are also your peeps.

How about your book club that enjoys reading and discussing books they’ve read or those that are into sports, so you spend a day or two in your week getting together with them and playing golf, hockey, shooting baskets or playing pool?

Then there’s the one special romantic partner who may also fall into some of the other groups. They are all your people. Spend time with people that make you happy, that get you and live life to the fullest. Don’t wait for that one special person, or soulmate to fulfill you or bring you happiness.

Here are some ways you can find your soulmate(s):

1. Make a list of things you enjoy doing. Do you enjoy dancing, hiking, reading, travelling, photography, connecting people or any of the zillions of other things in this world?
2. Join a meetup group. There are groups for all kinds of activities and interests. There are meetup groups for those that like salsa, retro music, disco, travelling, going to comedy shows and movies, hypnosis, mindfulness, meditation, making new friends etc. etc. You could also create your own meetup group if you can’t find anything you like.
3. Check out your local community centre for programs they offer or check their bulletin boards with people offering something that may interest you.
4. Google the kind of workshops that interest you. There may be adult learning programs, like a cooking class, photography or yoga class available in your community, or not too far from you.
5. Be brave and post on Facebook or other social media platforms. You may be surprised to find that there are some friends on your list that may be interested in the same things.
6. Reach out to acquaintances that you find interesting and seem to participate in activities that you enjoy. Make the first move to reach out to them.
7. Be the first to start a conversation and smile while waiting in line for something or whenever the opportunity arises, you never know who you may meet!

I think people are so interesting and everyone has a story, yes, even you! Stop worrying about what people think of you because they are not, they’re busy thinking about themselves!

Stop judging yourself and others and live your life doing things you enjoy now!

If you need help focusing or deciding what you want, find yourself a life coach or find a reputable hypnotist who can help you discover your true self. For more info, or if you’d like to read my older blogs, please check out my website www.mindvasana.com

“Tell your story. Shout it. Write it. Whisper it if you have to. But tell it. Some won’t understand it. Some will outright reject it. But many will thank you for it. And then the most magical thing will happen. One by one, voices will start whispering, ‘Me, too.’ And your tribe will gather. And you will never feel alone again.” ― L.R. Knost
